Sending Mails to people based on criteria containing specific data from that criteria row

Dear community,

 

I am trying to do some basic analytics where I gather data and compare it and if something isn't according to what it should be or does not meet the test criterias, I want to send out mails.

 

These mails should contain the responsible person which should be based on an criteria (code) and within the text of the mail I want to have some values from that row (only that row) to show the person where the problem is.

 

In a large scale I will have maybe about 50 mails going on to different people containing different values from various tests I did for each of this codes.

 

I hope I could explain properly what my case is and maybe someone can help me on that and explain what I need to do as I couldn't find a solution in the community yet which fits my expectations.

Hi @JeffJeffrey,

 

the easiest way to write personalized E-Mails is to use the text-tool to generate the E-Mail text.

 

Let's say our data looks like this:

Configuration of Text-Tool:

Final text:

grossal_2-1584190920477.png

 

 

You can than add the E-Mail tool and select the right fields:

Explanation & configuration:

 

You can add columns to the Text-Tool in two ways.

 

1) Use the "Available Fields" Option

This write [Error:A] into your text which will be replaced during the workflow.

 

2) Write it yourself

The syntax is pretty simple, you write [COLUMN:A] and that's it.

 

 

Further notes:

You will probably need a table like this: 

 

Error CodeResponsibleMail
1Person Aa@test.com
2Person Bb@test.com
3Person Cc@test.com

 

As soon as you have this, you can join the data together and you are good to go.

 

 

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions or accept it as a solution if it helped 😃

 

Alex
